I can't stop photographing their efficient and brightly coloured trains though.<br />
<br />
In this post, I have material from a visit to Düsseldorf in 2000, then some from more recent years from my visits to Essen. There are also some of Cross-border services in the Netherlands. Enjoy.<br />

<h3>
DB</h3>
Everywhere, you'll see the DB logo. It stands for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Bundesbahn" target="_blank">Deutsche Bundesbahn</a> - or shortened these days to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Bahn" target="_blank">Deutsche Bahn</a><br />
<h3>
Numbering</h3>
One of the first things you notice when looking at trains in Germany, is that their numbers are very precise.Two blocks of three numbers - the first is the class number, the second the number of the unit in that class. Following these is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit" target="_blank">check digit</a>.<br />
<br />
<h3>
ICE</h3>
The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercity-Express" target="_blank">Inter City Express</a> is a regular sight across the DB network and into Europe. <br />

The old 'Western' diesel Hydraulics were always my favourite loco. That sweet design and their relative unavailability to a young boy based in the North of England in the '70s just made every time I caught sight of one even more sweet.<br />
The westerns ran almost exclusively on the great western routes to the south west and wales, mostly from London paddington, but also from Birmingham, which is where I would go to catch sight of them. I recall a school trip to Bath, where I had one of my first chances to see them close up - I still have the photos somewhere.<br />
<br />
These shots are from more recent times - A diesel day on the West Somerset Railway on 29th April 2000, and from the Old Oak Common open day on 6th August of the same year. Finally a couple of shots from Barrow Hill open day on 8th October 2000.<br />
